Always the correct answer

If u hard, then u hard, and brother…

Same expression too, I assume?

The sale follows a judge’s order earlier this year for Jones to liquidate his personal assets, to help him to pay off the $1.4bn he was ordered to pay the families of victims of the 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting…

I believe this money goes to the victims’ families

Very fun very cute game, I recently caught a Creature

That’s Jamie, he’s the goofy one

I’m stuck with Facebook because of Messenger, but I’ve deleted everything else

Same man. It was wild when middle school rolled around and I finally gained awareness of the world beyond myself and learned what the Republicans actually were and wanted. A friend who knew more about politics than me explained some stuff, and suddenly I had to question why my family was against progressive beliefs.

What does paper ballot mean if it’s all electronic? When I voted, I filled a bubble with black pan and stuck the ballot in an oversized Scantron machine

What are you an accessory to? Murder? On the dance floor?

I have 8Bit Music Power Final on NES, I’d love to get the other two also!

I liked the introduction of gestures, so much screen space was lost to those buttons.

I just bought a drone, hopefully it arrives by this weekend and I’ll start posting some pictures

Edit: it did not

I’m not sure yet, I’ve been researching what to buy since then and I found this guide. It sounds like a sit-on-top with a flat hull is good for beginners, and I have a preference towards nothing inflatable also.

If you have any recommendations though, let me know! I also need to get a roof mount for my car.

You have convinced me to buy a kayak. 👍

Jolly good show!

Oops you’re right, shame one me for not verifying that before posting. I was at work, didn’t have it on me to check, and I couldn’t find the answer online, so I took a guess.

It is still a separate partition from the one the OS is installed to though, which I’m guessing is ext4 since it’s Linux

Microsoft’s solution above is tacked-on and inelegant, it’s a bandaid to fix a problem with WMDRM that MTP devices were causing in the first place. MTP wasn’t built for enforcing DRM and and Amazon would just be setting themselves up to face the same issues if that was their goal here. Also, unlike Microsoft, they don’t have the advantage of being the original creators of MTP. If they did want a completely DRM controlled environment, turning the Kindle PC app into something more like iTunes where it’s the only program able to communicate with Kindles would have been a much better first step than implementing an industry standard file transfer protocol. They could have jumped straight to your second step like that.

My best guess as to why they’re making the switch to MTP is because USB Mass Storage currently requires them to maintain a separate partition with a fixed size formatted in NTFS FAT32 on a Linux-based device just so it can occasionally be exposed to a PC it’s plugged into, and that’s… kinda stupid. MTP provides them the option to just not do all that. MTP is the standard mobile devices use these days, it’s going to be easier and cheaper for them to develop around and they won’t need two different file systems and partitions on one device anymore.

The Kindle doesn’t use Windows Media DRM for its DRM protected ebooks, they use Amazon’s own DRM. Even if they did use WMDRM though, this is just an extension for MTP that would enable it to be used for streaming WMDRM content. It “provides a mapping of WMDRM: Network Devices Protocol messages to the Media Transfer Protocol (MTP)” and that’s necessary because MTP would otherwise not provide the data necessary for for the DRM protected content to play.

There’s still nothing here that would prevent you from copying your own “legitimately obtained” epub files or Amazon-encrypted AZW files to or from your PC.

I see this article is the first result when searching “MTP DRM” on Google though 😉
